Shibuya Crossing, outside the Hachiko exit, moves up to 3,000 people on a single green light. Street level is the least interesting view of it: Shibuya Sky puts you 230 metres up on an open roof, and the station Starbucks does the same job for free. Behind it sits Tokyo's centre of gravity for shopping and nightlife. Note the year-round street drinking ban after 6pm.
Shibuya is the largest shopping district in Tokyo. Famously known as one of the largest intersections in the world, Shibuya has a lot to offer - the Japanese Sword Museum, the statue of Hachiko the Dog, and plenty of shops and complexes, where the latest trends can be viewed. It is a youth and pop culture hub and is a must-visit on any tourist's itinerary to Tokyo. It is also a popular hub for the bustling nightlife in Tokyo, with many eclectic themed bars, clubs and arcades. Arcade and gaming culture are at their zenith in Shibuya.
